Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss cabbage with vinegar, a pinch of salt, and let it sit while you assemble.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium. Add pork and soy sauce, breaking it up gently.

  3. Step 3

    Warm the pork, stirring occasionally, until the edges brown slightly and surface looks glossy, ~4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Wipe the skillet clean. Butter both sides of each roll halves and toast cut-side down until golden, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Stack pork on bottom halves, top with pickled cabbage and roll tops.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet or 12-inch nonstick pan
